Verily, the heavenly angels address thee from the Supreme Horizon, saying: "O maid-servant of God! Be rejoiced for God hath chosen thee for His love and sheltered thee under the shade of His Kingdom, the lights of which shone forth, the signs of which were manifested, the mysteries of which were unfolded, the fragrance of which emanated, the waves of which surged, the causes of which were promulgated, the suns of which appeared, the moons of which shone and the stars of which sparkled." (71:1) Therefore, praise God for that He honored thee with presence in this great century and new cycle and caused thee to attain this new bounty. (71:2) I ask God to send down upon thee a blessing and upon thy family a favor from His Kingdom. (71:3) Verily, I read thy letter which indicated that thou hast turned unto the Blessed Spot, that the Truth (o God) hath revealed itself to thee, that thy fear is quieted and that thou hast attained to composure, assuredly believing in this great Cause. (71:4) Know thou, verily, there are many veils in which the Truth is enveloped: gloomy veils; then delicate and transparent veils; then the envelopment of Light, the sight of which dazzles the eyes, as doth the sun which is enveloped only in its own light and, as we look at it, the sight is blinded and eyes are dazzled.
(71:5)
